I've lived at Beechwood Pines for right over two years now and it's the best kept secret in Athens, as far as apartment complexes go. It's gated and quiet. There aren't any rowdy noisy parties going on, which is great if you're older or are looking to find a place that's not completely full of college students.

I think the biggest draw of Beechwood Pines is the daily living. I say that because it's easy to live here and take so many things for granted that you're constantly fighting for with other apartment complexes.

The front office is always very understanding, and the hours are really good so you can grab packages if they were left there.

The most convincing thing I can say about Beechwood Pines over ANY other apartment complex in Athens is its response time for work orders. I've literally never had to wait >12 hours for ANY work order to be completely fixed. I've lived places where I'd wait for days to no avail, but Beechwood Pines' maintenance crew is not only top notch, but friendly as well.

The location itself is also very nice--the only downside is there's no quick access to the loop, but being on Alps is more than enough to make up for it.

I've set my standard for apartment living based off of Beechwood Pines. I'm definitely not looking forward to moving away from an environment like this one.
